I feel like that last line aptly describes each one of the unfortunate souls who have met their premature demise via Covid vaccination. The collective denial and indifference of the teeming masses remains.
Indeed. 17 million shrugs of eternity plus 4 billion shurugs of those still here - including, most prominently, hundreds of millions in the "free world" of yesteryear.
Excellent point! I tried to warn family and friends early on, but many succumbed to the fear mongering and lies of the "authorities", or were too lazy to do their own research on the death jabs. Unfortunately, THEY are now using alternative means to control us, ie. poisoning us through aerosol spraying, infecting our meat with vaccines, nanodots, hydrogel and the like. God did tell us that in the last days, a "great delusion" would come. I pray that in these perilous times, that many would put their trust in Yeshua the Messiah.
It is not the people of the world whom are unable to coexist. It is the political class, elected or otherwise, and the related bureaucracies which support same that keep the world in turmoil with no regard for the citizens of the respective nations. It is all about "them" and "their democracy" which enables "them" to maintain power with the support of a biased press.

The beat goes on, John. The drums are getting louder each day.
Have you read Chuck Colson’s Speech when he received the Templeton Prize in September 1993? Here he proves to be a modern day prophet as we consider the times in which we now live. He speaks years ago of the Path to Tyranny. It’s a must read. Highly recommend it. Our country needs a spiritual revival from the King of Kings and the LORD of Lords. He is the Light of the World and the darkness has NOT overcome Him.
Thanks John, you again take me back to my junior year of high school in 1977, going to night school to get caught up because I had quit at the beginning of the year. We were assigned to read “1984” by George Orwell, which very much describes the dystopian nightmare we have allowed to overtake our Republic. I never thought it would be regarded as a documentary, but here we are.
Your Rubashov quote reminded me of something GK Chesterton said:
“Those who conclude that they do not believe in God do not of a sudden believe nothing. They believe anything”.
Believing anything inevitably means believing the officious and the powerful. Rubashov’s quote, and Chesterton’s”, would appear to describe the world we are living in, a world where The Church of Man has replaced The Church of God, a world where might makes right, where the mighty own The Science and where diktats determine what is misinformation and what is not.
“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”(Corinthians 2:14, NKJV)
What if they never believed anything, but were only going through the religious processes, and they only declared their non-belief because they found the social strength and self belief to say so?
Thanks for your kind intentions but I find your believe-then-see statement very problematic. I would never, ever do that. It sounds like a psychological dysfunction trick.
The only thing I've ever believed in is the sacrament of marriage.
What it describes is Faith. If you believe that to be psychological dysfunction, it does not describe a process where you put your mind aside. Quite the contrary. It is simply a first step to trust God. If you need more evidence, let me recommend a magisterial book: “The Return of the God Hypothesis” by Stephen Meyer. It is written by a PhD scientist and delves into all the ways modern science supports intelligent design and all its implications. If you need to have your head involved before your heart, this is a great place to start. Cheers
I will finish your essay for you, John: But we are not like those who have no hope, because Jesus Christ was Himself interrogated before His crucifixion. And He was resurrected, as the firstborn among His brethren, so those who follow the Son of God in obedient faith will not be relegated to a shrug of eternity, but will be raised up to eternal life.
“And so every leap of technical progress brings with it a relative intellectual regression of the masses, a decline in their political maturity. At times it may take decades or even generations before the collective consciousness gradually catches up to the changed order and regains the capacity to govern itself that it had formerly possessed at a lower stage of civilization.”
Our nation has been under attack from within for over five decades. The forces of evil include the deep state, the public education system and the media. The majority of US citizens do not KNOW or do NOT want to take the time to read the Constitution of the United States. It limits what GOVERNMENTS can do. With the loss of morals and the wholly inadequate public education system and a complicate media, freedom wanes. The tides may be turning but to stay free we must be ever vigilant. We cannot let our guard down and we must be more vocal.
California used to require its high school students to take a course in government which focused on the US Constitution, especially separation of powers ad Bill of Rights. Now that's watered down in a one semester "government & civics" class. Read this and weep:
" 2014 assessment showed that only 23 percent of the 9,100 eighth graders given the tests were at or above proficiency levels in civics. That was no significant change from the 2010 results.
"The assessment asks students about the American political system and government, world affairs, and the roles of citizens. For example, the eighth graders were asked to name a presidential responsibility not outlined in the Constitution, fill in a chart outlining the checks and balances in government, and interpret a graph about voting behavior."
Lots of activist push-back but so far not much progress. Here's one:
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill it teaches the whole people by example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means - to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal - would bring terrible retributions.
Great Book! Remember Lenin and Stalin were Zionist Jews funded by Khasarian Rothschild satanic banksters who murdered Christian Czar and his family and 60 million Christians! True Holocaust!
"...the novel is a cautionary tale of what happens when the rule of law is replaced by the dictatorship of man or party of men animated with ideology."
Isn’t it ironic that Stalin executes a Bolshevik. It shows that eventually they come for you even though you may have supported the original totalitarianism.
Is it not the Democrat majority who eat their own, abort post birth, sexualize and mutilate their young, and assist suicide at any age, disabled, mentally infirm, the sad, and elderly they see as a drag on themselves? Utopia via dystopia.
The Bolsheviks were not motivated purely by their ideology. Blanquists, throughout the history of this intellectual-political strand, have been motivated by an ulterior, petty bourgeois wish to set themselves up as an elite caste within a socialist society, and thus preserve and even expand their middle class privilege: a caste system, which ultimately, must and did destroy whatever "socialism" the Bolsheviks did manage to create.
But this tendency is not intrinsic to socialism. It is inherent in Blanquism.
And the same petty bourgeois mentality acts as a defense mechanism within capitalist society to discourage intellectuals--like you, John--from understanding the need for socialism: if we are to defeat the Great Reset.
Another excellent conveyance of how the popular literature links to present times. Not being interested in writings while young, I didn't discover and revel in the important works of art of humankind. But your works are perfect in bridging the gap and letting people just like me see through the lens of history more clearly.
It's a gross metaphor, but I have to say it:
You have been like the bird that can digest the food but then regurgitate it in a readily consumable form at the right time when the little chicklings in the nest need to eat.

Amazing prescient piece of writing! Rich and telling and as I have come to see, his words are so very true..... Thank you for the link.

Dear Madeleine,
You must believe in order to see, not see in order to believe. Give it a try. God will be there for you. Blessings,

If it wasn’t for gaslighting and projection, the Illegitimate Regime handlers (criminal scum behind the curtain) wouldn’t have anything to say.
